W ith the summer coming to an end, you might be relieved to have the prospect of cooler days ahead. There have been almost 500 wildfires in England and Wales so far this year alone, compared with 237 last year, according to the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC). Undoubtedly, the security industry plays a significant role in protecting people from fires by providing fire prevention services. For example, thermal cameras such as Hikvision's Heat-Pro can detect changes in temperature/ hot spots and save lives by preventing the spread. It goes without saying that with the temperatures falling and electricity prices increasing, we will face other problems in the future.

Throughout history, technology has been put to both good and bad use. There is no better example of this than the personal computer. Connected to the internet, the humble PC opened up the world to its users, making communications with friends and family on the other side of the world cheap and easy. In the wrong hands, however, the same personal computer allowed hackers to access inadequately secured corporate and government networks, steal sensitive information and sell it to the highest bidder. It is right that we continually address the technology available to us and closely consider both the value it brings and its potential for misuse. At present, there is a specific concern across society about technology that, if used irresponsibly, will infringe on our privacy and undermine civil liberties. This includes a number of technologies that rely on artificial intelligence (AI), most notably live facial recognition (LFR). A number of police forces across Europe have been using LFR, but a series of legal challenges have emerged around its use.
Using artificial intelligence in the right way
Video surveillance technology must be used responsibly, and regulating technology such as live facial recognition is important. But in appraising these technologies, we must be careful not to throw away AI and its benefits with the regulatory bathwater.

Thesolutionever-increasing demand for reliable networks with remote access has resulted in connection availability becoming one of the most crucial issues for security solutions. Security installers must consider this in the network architecture decision. Backup resources are often used to protect against failures. However, due to the high cost of duplicate network resources (and capital expenditures CAPEX), some companies might think they need to trade off between service reliability and the cost of protection.

Environmental conditions are not always ideal for traditional security cameras, especially in case of scenarios where perimeter protection and fire detection are needed. What do you do when your images are affected by factors like darkness, foliage, snow or fog, which can obscure objects or people that should trigger a legitimate alarm. One very effective solution is the use of thermal signals. The spectrum of visible light is only a small part of a large band of detectable signals, or waves, that travel through matter. The electromagnetic spectrum contains radiation from various invisible wave types, each with a unique wavelength. Thermal radiation is one of these, featuring longer wavelengths than those of visible light, and is therefore generally invisible to the human eye.

Toillustrate, in May 2022, the European Union (EU) joined forces with the OACPS (Organisation of Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific States) to fund the DIRECCT (DIgital REsponse Connecting CiTizens) program. This initiative was undertaken to strengthen digital connectivity in the education and healthcare sectors in the Caribbean after the COVID-19 pandemic.Inanother instance, in January 2022, the Indian government advised states to activate COVID-19 control rooms to ensure strict monitoring of patients under home isolation. These control rooms at the sub-district and district levels were geared toward collating daily reports of the patients and submitting them to the district administration. Moreover, the rapid advancement of digital solutions that optimise control rooms and help manage the crisis better could support security control room market growth during the pandemic. Global Market Insights Inc estimates that the security control room industry size may exceed USD7 billion by 2028. Apart from virus control measures, the trend of setting up a security control room as a central space has also been rising considerably to respond to security incidents or threats. Security control rooms are generally designed to ensure maximum security and withstand catastrophic events. During the novel COVID-19 pandemic, they gained further traction for applications like virus transmission prevention and crowd control.

From January 1st 2023, the “UKCA Mark” will be necessary for all products which so far required a CE certificate for being sold in England, Scotland and Wales – this is one of the consequences of Brexit. Only institutes that are UK-based can issue this “UK Conformity Assessed” mark. VdS now also offers this service in cooperation with its partners BRE and UL. “We coordinate the entire process for manufacturers on a one-stop basis. Effort and costs as well as time-to-market are significantly minimised if we already carried out VdS and CE tests on the products. Then the assessment is easily done based on our existing test reports”, emphasises Gunnar Bellingen, head of the VdS laboratories for fire protection technology. “Our key objective is providing VdS partners with all relevant services and making all required certification processes as simple and fast as possible.”
Datalog MV operates with the latest version of Datalog which provides local and remote site monitoring and control of building, fire, security and energy systems and significantly enhances the ability of operators to manage video surveillance systems which may be part of an integrated security solution.

How Hanwha has mitigated component shortages and supply disruptions
Thereonwards.areadditional reasons that are exacerbating the situation, including labour shortages caused by workers switching jobs, once-in-a-lifetime weather events that caused disruption, and even a freak incident that saw the Suez canal blocked for a week in March 2021. The war in Ukraine has brought additional pressures and lies behind challenges such as a shortage of everything from wheat and sunflower oil to, most critically for the industry, half of the world’s neon (used in making chips). China under lockdown And while much of the world is beginning to see the return of some form of normality, for many, component shortages and disruptions to In recent months, there have been supply chain disruptions. Industry sources say the current shortages and inflation are worsening – and won’t ease anytime soon. Although all manufacturers face challenges in their supply chains, not all are equally affected.
The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on production are playing a major role. Lockdowns around the world meant that manufacturing was severely interrupted, while demand for many goods weakened. And, when assembly lines reopened once more, the huge demand for items such as microchips (and more) meant that manufacturers struggled to keep up. To make things worse, shipping containers full of those goods that had been manufactured, sat for weeks at ports as there were insufficient ships to carry them, workers to unload them, or trucks to transport the goods
